LucidShape Version 2020.12 Now Available

We are pleased to announce that version 2020.12 of LucidShape is now available. This release introduces the LucidShape SmartStart Material Library Module and other new and enhanced features.

Key improvements include:

New SmartStart Material Library Module

• Saves time and reduces costs with access to a library of materials and media commonly needed in the design of automotive lighting systems.
• Includes refractive index and absorption data for various media, as well as pre-defined scatter materials.
• Provides measured scatter data for volume and surface scatter from vendors, such as Evonik, Albis, DowChemical, Trinseo, Sabic, Kopp, Covestro, Momentive, RTP, Auer, Idemitsu, Tenibac, VDI 3400, and Mold-Tech.
  
  

Freeform Design Lens

• Utilize the power and flexibility of freeform surfaces to create complex light distributions.
• Generate specific light distributions required by forward lighting applications, exterior and interior projection systems, and puddle, back-up, and license plate lamps.

Human Eye Vision Image

• Use the enhanced HEVI tone mapping algorithm to compute the most physically accurate photorealistic images.
• Improve productivity with the simplified HEVI tone mapping feature, now requiring fewer presets to obtain high quality images.
  
  

Enhanced IIHS Benchmark

• Evaluate designs against the enhanced IIHS safety benchmark with additional parameters.
